Operator Overloading



I was wondering if there was a way to do operator overlaoding in php
like you can in c++.

In c++ you can do something like:

cout << myobject; -- and have myobject handle the output.

Is there a way to...

echo myobject; -- and be able to have a custom definded method in
myobject do some kind of output?

Any other suggestions?
( I was thinking of having a custom method called echo in myobject so
one could do echo myobject->echo(); This is not as clean....)

Thanks!!
